I was supposed to pick up assignments at around 10am, but I didn't get to it until about 11...but that's ok, I guess. Processed the assignments, talked to officemate Jeff in the middle of it after he surprisingly came to the office, and then sent off the assignments. I was supposed to start research work after that, but I didn't do it...I didn't even try...and that's so sad, because now I'm stuck once again with the very likely possibility that I'll have to do two weeks worth of research Monday morning...sigh... Afternoon mccf was ok, I guess, and then dinner and Lifesong, which had its share of technical difficulties, but the message portion was quite powerful. In other news, Kai was more courageous and outgoing than I thought, which is nice. And that ends this day.

Random notes...

• Why do I have a sinking feeling that going to the puzzle championship is the wrong decision?
• Wow...2 degrees...no wonder it felt so cold outside...
• Various parts of my body suffered minor casulties as a direct result of yesterday's slow run...parts that include my left knee and groin muscle...oops.

I'm grateful to God for...

• Samuel's email;
• the message of His love at Lifesong;
• enjoyable fellowship with the mccf crowd;
• helping me share my perspectives on the Bible in response to Peter's questions; and
• meeting up briefly with JY today...
